The eight auspicious symbols represent the offerings presented to Shakyamuni Buddha upon his attainment of enlightenment. They are believed to create joy, harmony and peace in the home. We had the eight symbols embroidered in gold and silver silk thread in our new Mandala design on luxurious burgundy fabric framed with an elegant border of iridescent saffron brocade Thai silk to create a stunning piece of wall art. Each wall hanging comes with wooden dowels and silk cord with wood beads for hanging and a detailed explanation of the symbols and their history. Bring good fortune into your home, office, or sacred space.
The Mandala wall hanging is 17" wide x 28.5" long.
The long 8 Auspicious Symbols wall hanging is 11.75" wide x 46" long.
